Epic Seven January Balance Update and Patch

 

The developers for Epic Seven have just released a new balance adjustment patch for the game. The update is going to be releasing on the 21st of January. The important details addressed in the patch are mainly going to be balancing out almost every character in the game alongside their skills as well. There will be no new features added to this update as the community has just been asking for a few balance changes here and there.

 

Characters in Epic Seven are the bread and butter of the game; therefore, it only makes sense that many players want to see their favorite characters get nerfed or buffed accordingly.

 

Update Details:

 

As of yet, the developers have confirmed that the update will mainly be re-balancing only nine heroes and an artifact. Here are the characters that will be experiencing a change:

 

  • 5★ Moonlight- Briar Witch Iseria, Specimen Sez
  • 4★ Covenant- Silk, Khawazu
  • 5★ Covenant- Kawerik, Haste, Yuna
  • 4★ Moonlight- Free Spirit Tieria
  • 3★ Moonlight- Captain Rikoris

 

In terms of Artifacts, the only change that is happening will be with the Flower Shower. Skill cooldowns for all these heroes will remain the same, with skill reworks not being a significant concern.

 

Major Changes:

 

We’re going to talking about the significant changes made to characters in this update, especially the ones who are rated at higher stars.

 

Moonlight – Briar Witch Iseria:

Witch's curse has now been buffed that provides immortality to receive lethal damage. Moreover, Cursed Thorn is now buffed to a max of 100% when debuff chances. Lastly, the awakened form of Cursed Thorn has been buffed with an increased chance as well.

 

Covenant Kawerik:

 

Kawerik’s first ability, Dimension Corridor, now deals more damage, which now increases proportionally to the target speed. Moreover, the Awakened version of this ability increases the speed of the caster for two turns as well.

 

Dimensional Explosion has been nerfed by a small margin decreasing the amount of time it silences someone by 2 seconds. The damage dealt has also been reduced by quite a bit.

 

Yuna:

 

You will now need more focus to buff all of Yuna’s abilities. (3 to be exact.) The awakened form of this ability will also buff allies while increasing their attack speed as well. Yuna now consumed a lot more focus when she uses her skills while providing her with an extra turn to the caster as well.

 

You can expect to see a lot more of Yuna in the meta especially with how Briar Witch is going to be played who acts as a direct counter.

 

Specimen Sez:

Sez’s first ability, Dreamy Iron Mace, now has an increased stun rate. Moreover, the Evil Claws Ability has had its damage buffed quite significantly, turning it into quite an annoying skill to deal with, especially if you do not have a proper frontline reliant team.

 

Sez’s main ability, Light Storm, has also been buffed. The counter-attack chance for the ability has increased by quite a large amount, allowing you to penetrate the enemy's defense much quicker now.

 

Artifact – Flower Shower:

The newly released Artifact helps increase the Effectiveness stat of the one who put it down by about 7%. If an enemy has been defeated, the Attack Damage of whoever got the last hit has also been increased for about two turns, which effectively deals against compositions that rely on slowing down your cast speed by quite a bit.

 

Generally, this particular Artifact has become a very important part of Epic Seven's meta in a very short time as it lets compositions clear areas extremely quickly.

 

Conclusion:

 

This concludes all the changes you should know about in Epic Seven. The developers have ensured that none of the updates will be final and that players' opinion is extremely important. Generally saying, most of the community is very happy with the new updates as it has buffed up a lot of the characters that were not quite viable in the previous meta.

 

New updates will be coming out for the game very soon. So, stay tuned in for more news regarding Epic Seven, especially with new Seasonal Updates coming out for the game extremely soon.
